Mercenary: Illustrations

The illustration was beginning to take too long so instead I decided that it would be more efficient for me to produce the character bios using the front and back views I have designed. The initial idea was to have the five team members posing in a location. This was inspired by several anime influences such as Gundam 0083:Stardust Memory (1990) and Code Geass (2006).

Some different character placement iterations

Here are three fully coloured characters that will appear in the illustration.

Final Illustration

Presentation 3 Feedback

The talk went well. I received positive feedback about my work. The lecturers said I put alot of thought into my design choices. They asked me where I would further with this. However I thought he meant what will I do now up until the submission deadline. Now I think that they meant what I could do with this project in future. With some thought, I have considered perhaps using this as a starting point for next year's Honours Project. One idea was to produce a comic from this concept. The other was to explore the different mediums that this idea could be portrayed in. i.e animation, game, novel with illustrations. One of the lecturers said that my scope and scale was amazing. He said my work was presented with depth and clarity. He said that I had a terrifically approachable style, the development was very thorough and logical. He asked if the twelve characters were equally dispatched.I told him that I've considered when doing this and I said that to help balance things out, I allowed there to be 6 men and 6 women in character roster. However I went off on a tangent to answer the lecturer's question. Nevertheless, I was able to answer his question and he was impressed by the thought process that I undertook for the project. I mentioned that I used a way to limit my world building knowledge for the project.

Tundran Illustration Development

Environment Moodboard

When I was looking at environments, I wanted to show the Tundran Republic's military might. To show this I planned to have the Tundran characters on the bridge of one of their ships.

The other images you see are for the Mercenary and Imperial environments.

Development of illustration

Due to time constraints, I have been unable to complete the illustration aspect for my project. However I have chosen to include this in my development.

Final Project Outputs

I have chosen the outputs for my project.
I plan to output each of the character's development and final character bios. For the timelines and world, I'll be showing my development and the final outcome for each.
